Making the Leap: What Gateway API Needs To Support Ingress-NGINX Users

Ingress-NGINX has been the cornerstone of Kubernetes Ingress for years. As the maintainers transition to a new Gateway API-focused implementation, we face a critical question - how can we provide a seamless migration to Gateway API? What about the Ingress-NGINX features that Gateway API doesn’t support yet? To ensure a smooth transition to Gateway API, the ecosystem must address these gaps - and your input is essential.

In this talk, Rob and James will explore the critical challenges of migrating from Ingress to Gateway. They’ll highlight commonly used Ingress-NGINX features that are not yet supported in Gateway API and discuss how the community can drive the evolution of Gateway API to meet the needs of Ingress-NGINX users.

This session will provide insights into what’s needed to make Gateway API a true successor for Ingress-NGINX users, focusing on collaboration and feedback. Join us in shaping the future of ingress networking in Kubernetes.
